WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN NEXT 5 YEARS ?

This is one common question asked in many interviews.

What the interviewer learns from your answer?

  è Are you a planned guy ?

  è Will you be loyal to the company ?

  è Are you a hard worker ?

  è Are your goals logical ?

  è Your projection ability.

  è Have you learnt anything from your past mistakes ?

  è Are you adaptable ?

  è Your ability to learn quickly.

  è Are you open to risks ?

  è Your stability under adversities .

An interviewer can pick above details about you if your answer is well planned and practiced.

Make sure to tell, what your plan was and how you have grown till now, the stuffs you have achieved. Tell them about your learning curve. And then how you have planned your next 5 years based on your past experience. This answer will gain you trust for your answer.

Instead of just telling about your promotions and positions blankly as your 5 year projection plan.
